>> brian: in this episode on "fox and friends," we play ourselves. >> steve: okay. >> brian: 8:00 a.m. on the east coast, don't ask how i know. it is thursday, april 3, "fox and friends." president trump announcing global tariffs effective immediately. >> president trump: day american industry was reborn, the day america's destiny was reclaimed and day we began to make america wealthy again. >> brian: yep, lawrence is going to sit down with vice president j.d. vance live at the white house in a few minutes. >> steve: stand by lawrence. he'll ask the vice president about reports of elon musk leaving the trump team. musk said that was fake news.

is it? we'll find out from the vice president. >> ainsley: fox weather alert. tornado warnings continue as locals in arkansas, kentucky and tennessee are waking up to intense destruction. brace for flooding, we are tracking the storms. final hour of "fox and friends" starts right now. >> steve: 4:00 yesterday afternoon president trump announced global tariffs and they have rattled markets around the world. other countries are considering retribution. >> brian: 25% tariff on aluminum, steel, cars, as well as 10% tariff on 180 countries and territories. some nations are facing higher rates. >> ainsley: jacqui heinrich joins us with more from the white house. hi, jackie. >> jacqui: president announced baseline 10% tariff on all

imports. nationed considered to be bad actors face additional charges. china faces 54%, vietnam 46%, 32% for taiwan, 24% for japan, eu was hit with 20%. baseline 10% goes into effect on friday and 60 countries facing reciprocal tariffs will go into effect april 9th. sector specific tariffs countries are facing, steel, aluminum, cars and auto parts facing 25% tariff and white house expected to announce pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and copper soon. president trump says this is effort to balance lopsided trade agreement. he had this message for companies and countries. >> president trump: if you want your tariff rate to be zero, build your product here in america. there is no tariff likewise to

all foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors and everyone else calling to ask for exemptions from tariffs, terminate your own tariffs, drop your barriers, don't manipulate your currency. >> jacqui: reaction was mixed. japanese called tariffs extremely regrettable. uk prime minister starm er discussed new trade deal. eu had this message in three languages. >> the tariffs will hurt consumers around the world. it will be felt immediately. millions of citizens will face higher grocery bills, medication will cost more as well as t transportation, inflation will go up. >> jacqui: china pledged extreme

counter measures which the treasury secretary said will back fire. my advice to every country, do not retaliate, sit back, take it in, if you retaliate, there will be escalation. if you don't retaliate, this is the high water mark. >> jacqui: markets in asia and europe dropped sharply and u.s. futures were down as everyone digest this news from yesterday, guys. >> steve: yesterday in the rose garden, the politic was there and number of republicans. publicly the republicans are united around the president, but privately have you heard because you have contacts, that some republicans are worried whether or not this will work because ultimate worry is if stuff starts costing more, people back home will be po'ed.

>> jacqui: yeah, you had some republicans express that publicly. you had a vote in senate yesterday to roll back tariff authority and mcconnell, murkowski, rand paul voted with democrats to roll back the president's ability to do this. it has to go to the house and is unlikely to pass. when you have four republicans voting with dems, likely demonstration there is more. the message has been sent. >> ainsley: is the goal here to for donald trump to slap taxes on other countries that are slapping taxes on our goods and products and hopefully they'll say, you know what, this is costing us a lot, we'll lower our tariffs and the u.s.s we'll do the same. is that the goal? >> jacqui: he has expressed that

message, he wants to right size things and u.s. be treated fairly. if you charge us, we'll charge you. so many factors drove his thinking. immigration and fentanyl with canada and mexico and brokering new trade agreement and correcting currency exchange and subsidies and now in the rose garden yesterday the president said it is not about trade it is returning manufacturing to the u.s. he believes all parts of factors. he's spoken about all of those things. when other countries try to understand how to deal with this president and what his goals are, what he's talking about different buckets, it is difficult to figure out best package to present. that is why you had some countries waiting to see full details before they offer response. >> brian: you can talk to him, a lot of them know him personally.

how will everybody respond? china keeping powder dry, it is assumed they will go after the farmer again. eu will go after possibly tech sector and put restrictions on what the u.s. thrives at best and are big consumers of and france and germany are getting pressure through the eu to hit back at us hard. i'm curious about ireland, haven for fpharmaceutical companies t not pay tariffs at all. they have to make a decision, why don't you make pills here and bring your stuff back with distant tax rate and looming in the background is the president's tax package, the senate is moving on now. >> ainsley: will these, say we're going to tax another country 10%, will it always stay at 10%? his goal is to bring companies

here to make prescription drugs and make chips here and not rely on another country. if another country lowers ta tariffs, will we do the same? >> >> steve: there is 10% baseline for other. 10% is a lot, they have tacked on something else. yesterday and day before we were talking about how analysts felt baseline would be 20%. instead baseline is 10%. if a bad actor, the president said they are going to up that number. some numbers are really high. i am reminded, though, in talking to jackie a moment ago, how republicans are whispering, hope this works. remember during the campaign, donald trump, republicans would say donald trump is not really serious about across the board tariffs, it is just a negotiation thing. he was serious about it.

when he, remember he got elected on two broad issues, one border and two economy. in the short term, i know dow futures are down about 1000. wall street will have a rough day. big question is at what point do other countries say, we're going to make a deal mr. president, let's go. >> ainsley: we're being told j.d. vance is in position, ready to be interviewed by lawrence jones. lawrence. >> lawrence: thanks, family. bring in the vice president, vice president j.d. vance thank you for joining "fox and friends" this morning. >> great to be with you. >> lawrence: last time we had a one-on-one, you were not vice president yet, you were auditions. only candidate that said if you did not get accepted, you would be disappointed. congratulations. issues that matter to the american people. the president's tariffs.

he got elected on bring cost down for people. also bring manufacturing back to the country. these are going to hit each ot other, right? explain how you get manufacturing here and get costs down for the american people? >> if you go back, lawrence, remember during first trump administration, everybody said trump's tariffs would be inflationary? what happened? 1.5% inflation, fastest growing. and then four terrible years of biden administration. it is useful to step back and ask ourselves what has globalist economy gotten the united states of america? answer is based on two principles, incurring huge amount of debt other countries make for us. we borrow money from chinese peasants to buy things chinese

peasants manufacture. it is not recipe for low prices or good jobs in united states of america. for 40 kwyears we've seen closi factories and price of houses so high most americans can't afford to buy a home. president trump ran on that, promised and he's delivering. this is a big change, i will not shy away from it. we needed a big change. we cannot go down the joe biden gl globalist pathway. we have debt and deficit, we have manufacturing disappearing and that is not working for americans. we have to take this country in a different direction. >> lawrence: you see wall street in the media and markets and they are freaking out. i look at workers in the rose garden celebrating, diners across the country say we have

lost manufacture beiing and the celebrating what is the disconnect between workers cheering this on? >> a lot of people have gotten rich from american jobs moving overseas, american workers and american companies have not gotten wealthy from increasing growth of foreign manufacturing overseas. as the president says, foreign companies charge us ridiculous tariffs and engage in nontariff practices like currency manipulation, that has been awful for main street. it meant diner customers don't have jobs, saw mills have closed down and workers laid off. what i saw in the rose garden was enthusiasm, they have been working hard, young and old in the rose garden yesterday and never had a president who stood

up for american prosperity. they see something shifted, republican and democrats, union and nonunion. what we did under biden administration was not working. >> lawrence: i know a lot of maga folks cheering the president on, especially when they take it to other countries. i know people that come from our background living paycheck to paycheck, they want to do patriotic duty of taking it to other countries but it will hit them. what can you tell the american people that can't afford extra $3 here and there about the government making up the difference. is this temporary? three months or six months? >> we hear, you know how i grew up, i lived in a family that did live paycheck to paycheck. we are fighting hard to bring

prices down. we're doing a lot of things to lower cost of energy. you heard president mention eggs when we came in were at 10-year high and they have dropped 60% during the trump administration. what i ask folks to appreciate, we will not fix things overnight. joe biden left us with largest peacetime debt and deficit in peacetime in america. you don't fix that overnight. we are fighting as quickly as we can to fix what was left to us. it will not happen immediately. if we pursue deregulation and cost reducing policies, people will see in their pocket book and benefit from the fact foreign countries can't take advantage of us and jobs will be more secure. >> lawrence: you can't talk

about tariffs and not talk about tax cuts. is this to offset cuts we are expecting? is this a permanent measure or scoring of this bill, we're going to be able to get cuts as result of this? >> i wouldn't think of tax cuts as way to offset tariffs. for 40 years our economy reward people who ship jobs overseas and raises taxes on the american worker. we will cut taxes for american companies that build here and make it harder to ship american jobs overseas. it is a total shift in way we have done economic policy in united states of america. we will cut taxes, you will have more money in your pocket to deal with inflation. that is not about offsetting tariffs, they work together. we want to penalize people for

shipping overseas. >> lawrence: other news, reports came out that elon musk is leaving, the president said he was only going to be here for temporary basis. doge will continue after elon musk, will he still be advisor to you and the president? you have a great relationship. >> that report was total great news. elon came in, we need you to make government efficient, shrink bureaucracy that thwarts american people. it will take six months. that is what elon musk signed up for. of course he will continue to be an adviser. work of doge and elon is not close to done. look at fraudulent grants they found and people who are 150 years old fraudulently collecting social security payments and our social security system, 40% calling in are

committing fraud. 60% who need social security checks are waiting in line. doge has a lot of work to do. that work will continue after elon leaves. elon will remain friend and advisor of me and the president and he's done a lot of good things. people don't realize how vast and uncontrolled bureaucracy was. there is a lot of work to do, it will take a long and committed effort. >> lawrence: tell us about the news when it comes to tiktok. looks like the president will noun maybe today, maybe america owns 50% of tiktok, a private investor will own the other part. will that happen today? >> i don't want to get ahead of any presidential announcements. we have been working hard, me, the president, the entire team. to make sure tiktok app is not spying on people, it is good for

national security. give people access to this credible platform, this is where a lot of young people get news and found out about policies of trump administration. we have to accomplish both things. we'll keep working at it, i'll let the president make the announcement. it will come out before the deadline, we have a couple days to finalize things we'll let the president announce it. >> lawrence: lawfare in this your honor ko, seeing blocking block illegal immigrants that came in illegally. first crime. second crime, they victimized american citizens, murder, rape, all that, what is being done? seeing one-off stories, this person was a great father and they are hanging around with ms-13. the courts are blocking this, the executive branch. what are you going to do about it? >> keep on appealing and

fighting back. remember, most important thing was to stop bleeding, influx of illegal immigration in this country and the president has done that. illegal border crossings are down 95% in pretty much every part of the american southern border. get violent criminals out of here and out of our country. you are right, courts, radical left judges said you are not allow to deport ms-13 gang members. we think supreme court will overrule it. the number of people who came in here, the innocent american girls like jocelyn nungaray who lost their lives, democrats never wept for them or issued congressional resolution of condemnation for their murder and democrats did not do anything to make it harder for violent thugs to come in and prey on innocent young women.

what they are most angry about is not that jocelyn nungaray was murdered but that the purpose who murdered her is getting shipped back home. we're not going to let that stand in our way and will do the american people's work. >> lawrence: can you put your lawyer hat on for a moment. a gentleman they said should not have been deported from el salvador, they said he was not connected to ms-13. what do you tell them about that case? they said this is a person that was great member of society, you have looked at court records and talked to men and women on the ground. what can you tell us? >> a few cases where democrats in media say this person was an innocent father of three and you find out for example, i think this is the case you are talking about. 2019, immigration judge looked at data and concluded this

allegedly innocent person we sent to el salvador was member of ms-13 and committed traffic violation and not shown up for court dates. this is not father of the year here, this is a person who should not be in our country. whatever the argument is and justification, no one doubts, not even crazy left wing media that we can deport this person, they just took issue with the reasoning we deported this person. this is unquestionably an illegal alien and person immigration judge found had zero right to be in united states of america. we do not ask for permission from democrats before we deport ill illegals. this is such a weird mistaken placement of priorities. we need to make our country

stronger, create jobs, make our streets safer. what about congressional democrats get more angry at depo deporting violent gang members than the victims of the violent gang members. come back to rault. >> lawrence: larger point about lawfare, pretty muchering executive is doing has been challenged in lower courts. is there way to expeindicts expedite this to supreme court or let them make the decision and appeal and it will go to supreme court, people say four years will be up by then. >> a lot of things we can do, l limit jurisdiction of certain courts, even when they say you cannot deport that person for a

certain reason, we can deport for another reason. radical courts are a problem. we knew we would have this fight, we were prepared and we will litigate to supreme court. we think we will win and end this question permanently. democrats are spending so many resources fighting deportation of gang members, you have to ask where are their priorities. we're prepared and will fight to the top of the courts. >> lawrence: i think of your life story, similar to mine, growing up with nothing and now vice president of the united states. >> it is a great country, man. >> lawrence: we are almost to the 100 day mark. the president has been strong on the border. we have seen waste, fraud and abuse being brought to life. how would you rate this first 100 days? >> i think the president has done more in 100 days than any

president has done in eight years. the border is biggest crisis, two months in, border crossings almost at 0 when it comes to illegal border crossings. where i grew up, factory closures, friends of mine, getting their parents laid off, couldn't afford a home, women worried about price of eggs, we are making progress on the issues. it does not happen overnight, look at investment coming in, auto plants that were planned to close are now adding shifts, egg prices that are down, gasoline prices are way down. we're making progress. there is still a lot left to do and the president is laser focused on it, so am i. >> lawrence: you have become almost fighter-in-chief, president sends out message in bullet points and you go on sunday shows and duke it out

with them. you duke it out with world leaders in the oval office, as well. and people saying about maga, what happens after four years, my final question to you, do you run for president after this? do you, i know you will tell me, you will focus on being vice president right now. people are wondering if we can accomplish this in four years and they want security in that, is jd the man to continue the maga agenda? >> well, look, man, i really am not focused on politics, i'm focused on midterms in 2026. when we get to that point, i'll talk to the president and figure out what we want to do. if we do a good job, politics take care of themselves, i want america to be wealthy again and our communities to be safe again. i want us to be opening factories rather than closing doub factories. i want my generation to be able

to afford a home to raise a family in and stop ridiculous wars started by the previous administration, there is so much to do and i don't think about what happens in 3-1/2 years. if i do a good job and the president does a good job and i know we will, politics will take care of itself. let's do a good job. >> lawrence: when you do decide, its had to be on "fox and friends." >> we'll talk. >> lawrence: we appreciate it. family, just wrapped up with the vice president of the united states, to you guys. >> steve: good job, lawrence. >> lawrence: thank you. >> steve: first tommic, we will bring in charles payne, first thing they talked about, number one issue is tariffs. one thing that lawrence was asking about the pain on average american and j.d. vance said it can't be fixed overnight. overall costs will probably go up, there will be some pain.

big question, do people get the idea this is for greater good? >> president trump ran on tariffs, the president did what he said he was going to do. everyday media said trump is running on tariffs. we know that. trump is running on bringing back manufacturing. we know that. they pulled the lever for them. this is mind boggling the media's focus on pain. i heard someone on another network say countries send us wine, cheese and mercedes and we give them a piece of paper. people sacrifice family and work hard and people commit crimes for this piece of paper, it represents a lot. we get plastic crap on this table. that money comes back to this table, they buy this building, they buy our farms. this system is unsustainable. we have to figure it out.

if american people can make a short-term, that beach ball cost $.50 more, i won't buy it. this is amazing to me and i hear it on our network. somehow we all want a good gdp, and good economy, does it have to come at the expense? is it patriotic to spend my entire paycheck so the economy is good? my kids can't afford to go to college, i don't have a retirement or decent home, is that patriotic? is it tied to wall street or ability to achieve american dream? rethink all of this. >> brian: when people say rust belt was inevitable. you go back in time and you are an economic historian, we want free trade and nafta and we want to help everybody stop having enemies and let everyone in

world trade organization. they tell me economic disparity is the story. america is wealthy, wealthy have a lot and unintentionally, working class has less. how do we rebalance that? is this part of that? >> absolutely. four economic classes, educated elite who are getting all of the money. right? top 10% do 50% of spending in this country. next class, barista class, service economy that service wealthy, what would you like with your espresso, very little blue collar left and placated poor. people are poor, they get enough from government can't get off the dime, i'm living day-to-day. this is income inequality. think about this for a moment,

this is a plan, do you want this to work immediately, both political parties would say keep tariffs higher, higher than they were and both parties said keep them higher, manufacture being would start tomorrow coast to coast, nothing but cranes building factories. >> ainsley: donald trump will have to reassure american people he will not change tariffs. if i want to open a textile mill, they all left our your honor ko, if i want to build in carolina to get our clothes in america and make sure they are not going back to way they used to be so my company

>> brian: what about retaliatory, what should we look for from china and eu and others? >> not a lot. you know war gaming, pentagon sits around and every country doing war gaming on this, not a single country has what president trump pulled out last night, he pulled out something mind boggling, a bunker buster. the methodology they use and you can argue with trade deficit is intriguing and gave them a starting point, but you want to

one-up that? you can't one-up that. it is time to come to the table, you have until april 9th. i would not be surprised to see tidal wave of deals by then. >> brian: watch your show. >> charlie: amazing stuff today. >> steve: we'll be watching. >> ainsley: thank you. >> brian: game face. >> ainsley: check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. >> janice: active night and morning. dozens of tornados across heartland, mid-south, ohio valley and flooding concerns, not only today, through the weekend as storms train over same area. upward of foot of rain. tornado warning for west virginia, that is just south, northeast of faet, strong rotation on doppler. we are getting video image of tornados overnight and this, mo.

secretary of state marco rubio in brussels meeting with nato members to push to increase defense spending. we want to leave here with understanding we're on realistic pathway to fulfilling promise to reach 5% of spending, including the united states. >> carley: rubio met with officials and will meet with danish foreign minister later today. greenland will likely be topic of conversation there. hundreds of parents expected to protest downtown chicago over new bill putting restrictions on home schooling. parents who do not comply could face jail time or $1500 in fines. hundreds of parents took to state capitol calling the proposal government over dltz reach. >> we became home schoolers after seeing government overreach, the fact they are

coming for us with government overreach, it is an attack on parental rights and on home school rights. >> carley: news conference scheduled for 1 p.m. eastern time. and tariffs are in effect and could keep prices low and to keep prices low ford rolls out from america for america initiative offering employee pricing to all customers until june 2, could mean savings up to $4000. >> this is to call a timeout, we want customers to be assured ford will do right by them. for here and now, united states and major market, we'll offer u.s. customers really great opportunity. >> carley: electric vehicle buyers get employee discount and complimentary home charger, as

well. fantastic interview with you, brian. >> brian: i will watch it back later. >> steve: ford has a better idea. suspected killer luigi mangioni, could face the death penalty. what does the bible say about t that? pastor jeffress is here and he will explain that next.

now. pam bondi is pushing for the death penalty, what do you think about that? >> she's doing the right thing. the very first command was this, whoever sheds man's blood by man, his blood shall be bled, as well. human life is so precious, so important, anyone who dares take that human life ought to pay the ultimate price. ainsley, this is not just an old testament concept. roknow mas 13, paul says government is established by god. it does not bear the sword for nothing, it is avenger who brings rath on those who practice evil. capital punishment does not contradict sanctity of human life, it affirms precious ness of human life. we have an attorney general and

president who understand that. >> ainsley: feels like things are changing, i grew up in south carolina, you are from texas, we have kind of always felt that way in southern bible belt states. i heard someone killed a police officer, i knew that person was going to the electric chair in south carolina. we saw so many woke policies and so many liberals protecting the person taking life versus the victim and that seems to be changing. >> people want to say no study says capital punishment is d deterrent to crime, there are mixed opinions on that. when you execute somebody, you are removing from planet earth a criminal who kills people. our country, our world is safer when we get rid of murderers. by the way, i really think this is behind what the president is doing on exporting these

criminals. government has a responsibility to protect citizens and that is the primary responsibility and i think that is one great thing this administration is doing. >> ainsley: god would be with this, god agrees with this biblically? >> and more importantly, we agree with god. if we're going to be blessed by a nation, we have to honor god in his word. it is height of hypocrisy to say we're more compassionate than god is, we know better. >> ainsley: you are on fox nation every sunday morning 10:00 a.m. if you can't go to church, watch his fabulous service on fox nation 10 a.m. live on sundays. thank you so much. iconic american brand is changing image and we'll tell you how.
